    The course overall gave me insights into my role as a manager. I found the course content easy to understand and it gave me cause to reflect on my own role as a manager. The assignments made sense and relates to my every day work.

    I took this course as part of the Specialization. I wish I could put all the directors, VPs, and EVPs through this specialization. The tools, case studies, and resources alone make it worth the time and money.

    Interesting data on how to maximize on recognition and rewards. For me

    Variable Schedule Reinforcement technique was a revelation.

    I was not aware non-verbals can make such an impact.
